Meta Math!: The Quest for Omega
ISBN: 9781400077977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Gregory Chaitin, one of the world's foremost mathematicians, leads us on a spellbinding journey, illuminating the process by which he arrived at his groundbreaking theory.
Chaitin's revolutionary discovery, the Omega number, is an exquisitely complex representation of unknowability in mathematics. His investigations shed light on what we can ultimately know about the universe and the very nature of life. In an infectious and enthusiastic narrative, Chaitin delineates the specific intellectual and intuitive steps he took toward the discovery. He takes us to the very frontiers of scientific...

Goedel's Way: Exploits Into an Undecidable World
ISBN: 9781138442061 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Kurt G�del (1906-1978) was an Austrian-American mathematician, who is best known for his incompleteness theorems. He was the greatest mathematical logician of the 20th century, with his contributions extending to Einstein�s general relativity, as he proved that Einstein�s theory allows for time machines. The G�del incompleteness theorem - the usual formal mathematical systems cannot prove nor disprove all true mathematical sentences - is frequently presented in textbooks as something that happens in the rarefied realms of mathematical logic, and that has nothing to do with the real...

The Limits of Mathematics: A Course on Information Theory and the Limits of Formal Reasoning
ISBN: 9781447111214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. As a teenager, Greg created independently of Kolmogorov and Solomonoff, what we call today algorithmic information theory, a sub- ject of which he is the main architect. His 1965 paper on gedanken experiments on automata, which he wrote when he was in high school, is still of interest today. He was also heavily involved in IBM, where he has worked for almost thirty years, on the development of RISC technology. Greg's results are widely quoted. My favorite portrait of Greg can be found in John Horgan's-a writer for Scientific American-1996 book The End 01 Science. Greg has gotten many honors....

Exploring Randomness
ISBN: 9781447110859 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This essential companion to Chaitin's successful books The Unknowable and The Limits of Mathematics, presents the technical core of his theory of program-size complexity. The two previous volumes are more concerned with applications to meta-mathematics. LISP is used to present the key algorithms and to enable computer users to interact with the authors proofs and discover for themselves how they work. The LISP code for this book is available at the author's Web site together with a Java applet LISP interpreter. "No one has looked deeper and farther into the abyss of randomness and its role in...

The Unknowable
ISBN: 9789814021722 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This essential companion to Chaitins highly successful The Limits of Mathematics, gives a brilliant historical survey of important work on the foundations of mathematics. The Unknowable is a very readable introduction to Chaitins ideas, and includes software (on the authors website) that will enable users to interact with the authors proofs. -Chaitins new book, The Unknowable, is a welcome addition to his oeuvre. In it he manages to bring his amazingly seminal insights to the attention of a much larger audience His work has deserved such treatment for a long time.- JOHN ALLEN PAULOS, AUTHOR...

Conversations with a Mathematician: Math, Art, Science and the Limits of Reason
ISBN: 9781852335496 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. G. J. Chaitin is at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York. He has shown that God plays dice not only in quantum mechanics, but even in the foundations of mathematics, where Chaitin discovered mathematical facts that are true for no reason, that are true by accident. This book collects his most wide-ranging and non-technical lectures and interviews, and it will be of interest to anyone concerned with the philosophy of mathematics, with the similarities and differences between physics and mathematics, or with the creative process and mathematics as an art.

Exploring Randomness
ISBN: 9781852334178 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In The Unknowable I use LISP to compare my work on incompleteness with that of G6del and Turing, and in The Limits of Mathematics I use LISP to discuss my work on incompleteness in more detail. In this book we'll use LISP to explore my theory of randomness, called algorithmic information theory (AIT). And when I say "explore" I mean it This book is full of exercises for the reader, ranging from the mathematical equivalent oftrivial "fin ger warm-ups" for pianists, to substantial programming projects, to questions I can formulate precisely but don't know how to answer, to questions that I...

Algorithmic Information Theory
ISBN: 9780521616041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Chaitin, the inventor of algorithmic information theory, presents in this book the strongest possible version of Godel's incompleteness theorem, using an information theoretic approach based on the size of computer programs. One half of the book is concerned with studying the halting probability of a universal computer if its program is chosen by tossing a coin. The other half is concerned with encoding the halting probability as an algebraic equation in integers, a so-called exponential diophantine equation."
